Tomini

[Zeus]

Hi all,

Just remembered, a while back in one LFS they had un unusual Tang. I never seen one like it before and didn't know what it was.

The shop was busy and one customer mentioned the name Tomini Tang ( Ctenochaetus tominiensis), which I mis-heard as Tommy Tinker Tang. :D

lol, has a nice ring to it eh?

Hi the Tomini tang can be a bit troublesome sometimes, they are ok with other fish but can be a bit funny with other small bristle tooth tangs.:D HTH Eric PS it is a nice fish though and well worth a try

Great looking fish. Never heard of that one before. That yellow colour in in contrast with the blue looks smart.

No, IIRC their adult size is about 6-8 inches.
